Now I have a G15 and I love it. I don't like the orange LED as much as the blue but it looks damn good. The keys have this soft texture to them. Kinda make you feel like you're typing on marshmallow keys. #logitechg110

I agree with Psychonaut as well, the keys of the keyboard do feel very nice. #logitechg110

Whether you're a gamer or a generic PC user, you can't go wrong with it. It also features macro keys, as well as multimedia controls. Great for when you're watching porn! The mute button has saved me many times :P #logitechg110

And as it turns out: not really. That thing there is simply a STAND for your FULL LAPTOP.
But you heard it here first folks. Modular laptops. You'll be able to hang the screen on a wall, while you work from your wireless keyboard/mouse. Need to go somewhere? Reattach the screen to the keyboard, and pack up the mouse (or opt for the built-in keyboard nub, naturally) and you're ready to bring the whole setup in "standard laptop" form with you when you travel.
I'd buy one.

My point remains: I'd still buy one, if it worked properly, haha.

Arizona. Combos are like 6.50 + tax on average. #logitechnotebookkitmk605

Though I have thought about picking up Razer's newest wireless mouse for the 2 extra buttons by the index finger. But seeing as how I don't play wow anymore, my need for more mouse buttons is very small.

I find the scroll wheel to be a major improvement over the G5. On the G5 when you clicked it either didn't register or it clicked 2-3 times. I have the exact opposite experience with my G500. The wheel click has been precise every time. I don't use the fluid scroll setting at all, I like the click.
As far as the side buttons go I find them to be very usable even with my big hands. I play TF2 a lot as well and use the closest button for voice comm and the middle button for last weapon switch and I haven't had any problem with hitting the wrong button. They're nicely grooved to be able to tell which is which to me. Also, having the extra button for back/forward navigation in browsers is nice.

I don't understand why they would have made the same mistake after fixing it once.

Well, hmm... Maybe when it breaks. Damn, I think I just jinxed myself.

When you spend most of your time in UNIX-land, middle-mouse-button is paste. Middle button is therefore used VERY often, and the G5 was driving me nuts. For the longest time I thought the middle button was BROKEN - I'd hear it click but nothing would paste. I replaced it three times before I figured it out.
I'm a huge Logitech fan, too - my first mouse was a Mouse Systems Mouse clone, but ever since then they've all been Logitech. I'm sad they haven't fixed the side-scroll thing. I've been too afraid to buy another mouse with side-scroll in case they ALL do this - it's a bit hard to test on the not-plugged-into-anything demo mice at stores.

Also....
"...straddle the line between suggestive and aggressive, so it feels just right, like Zach Morris."

Nope. The G9 has that - and it works perfectly: super smooth on the fast mode, tight and precise on the clicky.

I've got the G500 as well, and I have to completely disagree. Yeah, the scroll wheel's middle button is hard to press, but so are most of Logitech's mice. Most people, gamers or otherwise, don't use the middle mouse button, and if you're like me and have the frictionless scroll, you'll never use the middle mouse button again. Its worthless in comparison.
Now, it does have the extra programmable thumb button, which could easily replace it if you so choose. I find it to be a much better gaming mouse than the G9/G9x, and I think that it is snappier, more responsive and more comfortable than any other gaming mouse I've used, besides the SideWinder x8. And for the price...how can you lose out?
As for the thumb buttons, maybe you just haven't been playing enough with it. I haven't had a single problem with it, in several different games. The programming system is fine, the buttons are fine...I have no idea what you're complaining about. This mouse is wonderful.
